What did he write?

Well, buying copyrights can definitely be a real investment (see Mr M Jackson and Mr P McCartney).


I'm not convinced that dropping 70k on a set of works that are so fabulous that they can't be described in the ad, or be shown with any indication of good title, can be classed as an investment.

The advertiser seems uncertain how to spell his surname; not inspiring.

Family legend has it that my grandfather, who worked in Army entertainment in WW2, gave Mr Howerd his first break, but was never acknowledged by Howerd in his autobiography, much to my grandfather's annoyance.

Did he write much of his own material. Many comedians of his generation didn't.
